Install or upgrade: download QuickLook.Plugin.QuickEdit.qlplugin, select it in Explorer, press Space, click Install, restart QuickLook.

New: plain text files

Files QuickLook shows in its text viewer (.txt, .json, .ps1, .py, .ini, logs and so on) can now be edited too:

  • Double-click to start editing. The word you clicked is selected, so typing replaces it. From then on it's a normal text editor: Enter adds a line and Ctrl+Z undoes.
  • Ctrl+S saves and stops editing. Esc stops editing and keeps your changes, unsaved; press Esc again to close the preview, which discards them.
  • The title bar shows whether you're editing or have unsaved changes.

Saving keeps the file's encoding and line endings, and is refused if the file changed on disk after the preview opened. Files the viewer shows differently from what's on disk can't be edited: over 5 MB, or converted for display.

Markdown editing is unchanged from v1.1.0.

Tested on QuickLook 4.5.0.
